Carla Del Ponte, Chief Prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia

“The Humanitarian Law Center has been of enormous help to my office since 1994. But our face-to-face meeting impressed and inspired me, especially her [Natasa Kandic’s] courage, openness and genuine concern for the victims of war crimes… It is in no small part thanks to her efforts that witnesses are coming forward to ensure that truth be told, forcing the region to face up to its history.”
Carla Del Ponte, Chief Prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia writing for Time magazine Europe, 60 years of Heroes 2006

”Želim da pohvalim požrtvovanost Nataše Kandić i njenih kolega koji su nam omogućili da prisustvujemo suđenju optuženima za streljanje naše dece, rođaka i branitelja Vukovara, koje je trajalo godinu i po dana. Naša tuga je makar za toliko umanjena jer je istina, iako nepotpuna, otvoreno prezentirana pred članovima porodica žrtava. Pomogli smo sudski proces i dokazima, tako što su neki naši članovi, ujedno i sami žrtve, svedočili i time doprineli utvrđivanju odgovornosti optuženih i istine. FHP nas je ohrabrio da u potrazi za kriminalcima, za istinom o zločinima i, što je najvažnije, u potrazi za istinom o nestalima idemo do kraja.”
Mirko Kovačić, član Udruge Vukovarske majke, Hrvatska.

Letter from ICTY Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte

“I would like to express my support and appreciation for your efforts to create an Archive of Trial Proceedings before the ICTY in B/C/S languages. We do hope that the Humanitarian Law Center will be able to continue with this essential and very much
needed project until the archive is complete.”

“The broadcasts on June 2 ripped away the veil of secrecy and denial of Serbian military operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the 1992-95 war, particularly the massacre of as many as 8,000 Muslim men and boys in and around Srebrenica. No longer was it possible to label atrocity tales as Bosnian Muslim propaganda amplified by inventive foreign correspondents, as many Serbs had done for a decade.”
The Washington Post, 25 June 2005

“Even the opposition to Slobodan Milosevic has shown little interest in acknowledging [Kosovo] atrocities. Natasa Kandic is a lonely exception.”
